Track seam
The ends of the rubber track are joined with a seam.
When adjusting the tracks, the seam must be
positioned on the top midway between the idler and
the sprocket.
If the seam is positioned incorrectly, the tracks will be
tensioned too loosely, and a further readjustment will
be necessary.

check the tension.

Additionally following points are to be observed when
adjusting rubber tracks.

Special Information when Using Rubber
Tracks

turns to reduce lug wear and entry of dirt.
2. The relief valve may be activated if too much dirt and
sand clog the tracks. In this case move the machine for
a short distance straight backwards to let the earth and
sand fall off, then a turn can be made.
